Reformed University Fellowship (RUF)

RUF is our denomination’s ministry to college students around the country. One of its distinctives is that the RUF campus ministers are seminary trained, theologically examined by our denomination, and ordained just like any other PCA minister. The only difference is that they are pastors to students instead of pastors in a local church.

Providence provides RUF encouragement, financial support, and a church home where students can hear the same perspectives as they hear from the RUF leader and see what it means to be involved in a church. Usually a high percentage of the students involved in RUF also attend local churches. This is very unusual in an age where students look to campus ministries as a substitute for church.
